In case of heartbreak, blanketfort.

So? Who's going to keep me company in the blanketfort while I come to terms with my favourite band splitting in two?

I've never been so invested in a fandom and this feels awful.
I don't care about having two Christmas and two parties. I liked my one Christmas party.
I know that it's better this way, them going their ways now instead of trying to make it work and everyone being unhappy, but it still hurts.

I'm sure in a couple of days I'll be able to look at this and think "Hey. You know what. Maybe it's cool. It hurts, but there's still something to look forward to. Jon and Ryan will go do whatever they want to do and so will do Brendon and Spencer. We get two bands instead of no band at all. Brendon will be able to make up all the showtunes-y songs he wants and Spencer will be able to be the dork he is and Jon will continue to braid his hair and Ryan (hopefully) will learn how to sing."

Reading that kind of makes me feel better already. Maybe if I repeat it like a mantra the pain will ease faster.
These certainly helps




as do you, flist. *hugs you tight and shares the pillows*

Oh that would have been horrible. I'm so glad I heard it from you and bandom in general.

My BFF and another friend occasionally listen to Panic, but I'm kind of alone in my mourning right now, too. Bandom is definitely good for support in this situation.

The future sure seems to be going in an interesting direction.
This is really sad and I wish it would not have happened, but I'm trying to think of things that would make it hurt less. The thought of new music and possible new band boys doesn't make it better yet, but maybe next week or later. The glass is still half full of band boys and the rest of them are out there but just in a different form... Um? I have to admit I have no idea where I was going with that. I totally butchered that metaphor, didn't I?

They're even homemade! *Takes the pillow and hands over the cookie jar*

Bandom is kind of a blanketfort itself :)

You didn't butchered it at all! I know what you mean :)
I read this post (http://community.livejournal.com/chasingdays/32466.html) yesterday and it helped looking at thing a bit more optimistically.

Homede cookies! *grabs the jar and offers a can of soda*
